Audit campaign performance inside Claude Desktop

The `get_performance_report` tool pulls raw impressions, clicks, and CTR metrics directly into your chat window. You ask your agent for yesterday's numbers, and it queries the AdButler API directly to show you exact counts instead of making you click through the web dashboard. This means you can spot underperforming placements instantly. Because this MCP Server runs locally on your machine, your agent can write these metrics straight to local CSV files or compare them against your offline targets.

Inspect active ad zones and publisher lists

The `list_publishers` and `list_zones` tools map out your entire ad inventory structure directly in the desktop interface. Your agent grabs the publisher IDs first, then fetches every active placement zone connected to those accounts. No more digging through multiple tabs to find out which zone belongs where. You get a clean, structured list of placements that you can immediately use to troubleshoot delivery issues.

Manage your creative asset library via MCP Server

The `list_creatives` and `list_campaigns` tools expose your active self-serve campaigns and stored media assets to your agent using this MCP Server configuration. Your agent checks which banners or videos are assigned to pending campaigns without opening a single browser tab. You can ask your agent to cross-reference your creative names with active campaigns to verify that everything matches your launch schedule. It handles the API calls in the background so you stay focused on your strategy.
